The FIR was lodged on December 22, 2017 against the NBCC CMD on a day when a foundation stone was laid on the redevelopment project of ITPO, Pragati Maidan by Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu.
The Central Bureau of Investigation on Friday filed corruption charges against NBCC (India) Ltd chairman and managing director Anoop Kumar Mittal, among others, and arrested a public servant Pradeep Kumar Mishra and one Akashdeep Chauhan in connection with a deal for a sub-contract for re-development of Pragati Maidan in New Delhi.
The FIR was lodged on December 22, 2017 against the NBCC CMD on a day when a foundation stone was laid on the redevelopment project of ITPO, Pragati Maidan by Vice President M Venkaiah Naidu.
Mishra and Chauhan, who works for Mumbai-based Capacite Structures' MD Sanjay Kulkarni, were sent to 4-day police custody by a special CBI court on Saturday.
Mishra, a government official, allegedly demanded a Royal Enfield from Capacite Structures for facilitating an introduction to Mittal for a sub-contract in the multi-crore project.
The CBI also carried out searches in Ghaziabad, Delhi and Mumbai; however, Mittal's home and office premises were not searched
The agency arrested Mishra while he was allegedly receiving the promised bike as illegal gratification from Chauhan, CBI sources said.
Kulkarni allegedly approached a middleman, Rishabh Agrawal, for getting the sub-contract. Agrawal is then said to have approached Mishra, who assured him the sub-contract would go to Capacite if he was given a new Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycle.
The contract was related to the re-development project of ITPO Complex at Pragati Maidan. The agency has alleged that a contract was awarded to Shapoorji Pallonji and Co (p) Ltd- Shapoorji Pallonji Qatar WLL (JV) - for Rs 2149.93 crore by NBCC and that one Mumbai-based Capacite Structures was trying to get that work from Shapoorji Pallonji on a sub-contract basis.
"Under the influence of Mishra, Anoop Kumar Mittal, CMD, NBCC (India) Ltd. strongly directed Rakesh Gupta, Executive Director, NBCC (India) Ltd. to settle this matter in favour of M/s Capacite Structures Limited. In furtherance to the above-said conspiracy, a meeting was held on December 15, 2017, between Kulkarni, representative of M/s Shapoorji Pallonji including Sh. Sanjay Kharkhanis and some senior level officers of NBCC including Gupta. After this meeting, Mittal assured Kulkarni and Mishra about getting the work from Shapoorji Pallonji to the company of Kulkarni," the FIR alleged.
"Mittal further assured Mishra and Kulkarni that if the work was not given to /s Capacite Structures Limited, he would ensure that it would not be given to anyone else," the FIR read.
The CBI has registered a case under 120-B IPC and Section 9 & 10 of Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988 against Mishra, Mittal, Kulkarni, Agrawal, Chouhan and other unknown public servants and private persons.
